To verify a Georgian business partner, confirm active registration on NAPR, cross-check directors and founders against sanctions lists, review court enforcement records and liens at enreg.reestri.gov.ge, and check procurement history on procurement.gov.ge. GE360 aggregates all these checks into a single dossier.

Georgia is an important trade and investment hub connecting Europe, the South Caucasus, and Central Asia. Its liberal company registration rules mean that a company can be incorporated quickly with minimal documentation. While this supports entrepreneurship, it also means that counterparty screening requires more diligence than in jurisdictions with stricter registration gatekeeping.
Common risks in Georgian counterparty transactions include: dealing with suspended or dissolved entities unaware, founders or directors appearing on international sanctions lists, companies holding undisclosed court liens or enforcement orders, and UBO structures obscured through chains of nominee shareholders.
A proper verification process using Georgian official sources takes 20–60 minutes per entity and covers registration, ownership, enforcement records, and procurement history. GE360 consolidates this into a single dossier, reducing that time significantly.
The first step is confirming that the company is registered and active. Go to napr.gov.ge and search by the company's 9-digit registration code or Georgian name. Verify that status shows as active (მოქმედი). If the company is suspended (შეჩერებული) or in liquidation (ლიკვიდაციის პროცესში), do not transact without legal advice.
Request or download the current registry extract (ამონაწერი). Confirm that the directors named on the extract match the representatives you are dealing with, and verify that no recent director changes have occurred without your knowledge.
On GE360, you can search at /search and view the full dossier including registration status, directors, founders, and a timeline of changes. Cross-reference with the guide on how to check a company in Georgia for the full process.
Court enforcement records in Georgia are maintained by the National Enforcement Bureau and published at enreg.reestri.gov.ge. These records include active monetary claims, asset freezes, and court judgments against companies and individuals.
A lien (ბმული) on a company's assets can significantly affect its ability to pay, transfer property, or operate normally. Before transacting — especially in real-estate, large-value contracts, or lending — always check enforcement records. NAPR also holds mortgage (იპოთეკა) and pledge records which may encumber company assets.
GE360 aggregates enforcement records alongside registry data, making them searchable by company name or registration code. The dossier's 'Enforcement' section shows all active liens and their dates. See the guide on Georgian court lien records for detailed instructions on reading these records.
If your potential partner does business with the Georgian government, their procurement contract history is publicly available. Georgia's e-procurement system publishes all contracts above the simplified procurement threshold. You can search by supplier on procurement.gov.ge.
GE360 indexes procurement data covering ₾32.6 billion in government contracts [GE360 registry data, 2026]. On a company's dossier, the 'State Contracts' section lists contracts where the company was a supplier or a buyer. Review for: contract size relative to company size, any terminated contracts, and whether there are listed contracts with entities that are themselves under enforcement.
Procurement history is also a useful positive signal: companies with sustained government contracting relationships have passed at least one level of government vetting.
Key red flags to look for in a Georgian company dossier: (1) Suspended or dissolved status with no recent activity; (2) Directors or founders with multiple enforcement actions or appearing in court lien records as debtors; (3) Multiple director changes in a short period, which may indicate internal disputes or nominee-director cycling; (4) Share capital well below industry norms; (5) Address that serves as the registered address for dozens of other companies (shell indicator); (6) Opaque UBO chain with multiple intermediate holding companies, especially offshore.
If any of these flags appear, escalate to legal counsel before proceeding. The guide on due diligence checklist for Georgian companies provides a structured 10-step process for comprehensive vetting.
At minimum: (1) verify active registration on NAPR using the 9-digit code, (2) confirm directors match the people you are dealing with, and (3) check enforcement records at enreg.reestri.gov.ge for active liens. GE360 covers all three in a single dossier.
Georgia does not maintain its own national sanctions list. For sanctions screening, check international lists: UN Security Council, EU, OFAC (US Treasury), and UK OFSI. These lists must be checked separately; GE360 does not currently include sanctions screening.
Court enforcement records are published by the National Enforcement Bureau at enreg.reestri.gov.ge. This covers monetary claims, asset freezes, and court judgments. Mortgage and pledge records are on napr.gov.ge.
GE360 aggregates data from official sources and updates periodically. Each dossier shows the data source and last-update timestamp. For the most current enforcement status, always cross-check on enreg.reestri.gov.ge.
Yes. GE360 provides person dossiers for natural persons found in the Georgian registries — directors, founders, and property owners. Person dossiers show company participations, directorships, and enforcement records.
An active company (მოქმედი) is in good standing and may conduct business. A suspended company (შეჩერებული) has had its registration temporarily halted — often due to a tax authority order or court proceeding. Transacting with a suspended company carries legal risk.
